The Forge Western Martial Arts

News and Events

Though only 16 years old, Vanya is one of the Forge’s most senior members. Somewhat new to official competition, Vanya will join his younger teammates in the youth category at Anvil 2019. Here he is pictured in class back in December 2015. He’s grown a bit since!

Registration is open for this year’s Anvil, happening Saturday, June 8, 2019. This event will be a little different from the past as we introduce a youth category in steel longsword! We hope to see the familiar batch of prairie-league fighters and are always excited to see new faces. Please click the below link for the registration, rules, gear requirements and such. Thank you!

Check back here frequently as forgewma.com undergoes some long-overdue updates! Much has happened within the club since our last post in October 2016. Please explore the site as we update and add new content, links, videos and MOAR! You’ll find in the meantime, frequent updates mostly on Facebook, not so much on Twitter (though that will also be changing). Also, definitely find and follow our members’ Instagram accounts for weekly swordings. MORE TO COME. Yes, moooaaar!
